    Wow, thanks for the shout out/props... right up front there! Strider was a game I loved in the arcades/Sega back in the early 90's. Ever since then, I've had a "game dev bucket list" and "make something LIKE Strider" was on it. Fast-forward some 25 years and I got to do it. Strider is a love letter to all things Strider, incorporating Strider 1, 2, NES and parts of the MvsC, all in a "StriderVania" mix. Really glad you had a good time with it and I hope more poeple get to playing it!

    Good lookin out on strider, reg…got this game back in 2015…I use to play it for the action, and movement controls, I don’t care too much about the story to it, but lookin back, it’s a pretty solid action platformer for the PS4

    I remember Strider 2014, i enjoyed that game very much as well. This was made by Double Helix for Capcom, supervised by Koji Oda. The original Strider is still the best in my opinion, but this was a good effort combining elements from the two original arcade games. In addition they also used some inspiration from the NES game, which had more exploration than previous installments. I hope Capcom revives this franchise, and take it to the next step by giving it a real 3D treatment like Devil May Cry, Souls or the Ninja Gaiden games.

    He's definitely not wrong about strider! That game is sweet as hell! And if you can and like retro games check the og strider also! Another good Metroidvania is the messenger but it's different from others it's got levels you can explore once you unlock items! The music is bad ass! You switch times the old times look like a 8 bit NES game and future is 16 bit but looks like a SNES game!

  • @darkkin9812

    You make great videos about so many games that many people overlook. I follow indie creators so I know of a lot of these games but I could guess that for anyone who doesn't just watching one video of yours they suddenly would have 5 to 10 games they want that they've never heard of. You're doing a great job, keep it man!!

    • @tonybarnes2920
      @tonybarnes2920 Год назад +1

      You and me both... but I don't think they'd ever give a gaijin like myself credit for such a thing. Hell, as it stands most people always mention the Capcom Japan staff, when they mention my Strider 2014. Those guys were great, but they were mostly just giving a note or two every few months. Metroid Dread's pretty awesome, tho! And hell, I stared at Shadow Complex, Megaman-X and of course all the Striders, while making Strider 2014. It's all good. Everything influences everything else.

    Great list, mate! As a Metroidvania fan I'm ashamed to tell I knew almost none of these games (because I work a lot and have little time to play), but they all look stunning in regards to style, pixel-art graphics, music and gameplay. I'll definitely play them. Thank you so much for this video. Saved!

    I'm looking forward to Silk Song and Crowsworn as well.
    Souldiers is one I couldn't make a decision on; because I love how it looks and sounds, but it's very long and lacking in a lot of areas.

Chasm is really good; I just have too many games to go through it a second time though.
